A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

SlopStop is Kagi’s community-driven feature for reporting low-quality, mass‑generated AI content (“AI slop”) found in web, image and video search results.

Kagi Search already fights most SEO spam by downranking sites filled with ads and trackers. SlopStop adds a collaborative element: users can flag suspected AI slop, helping us identify domains and channels whose main purpose is to generate traffic with AI‑generated content.

You can report on a single page, image, or video, with each report individually reviewed. Multiple reports for the same domain or channel help speed up the review process.

Reviews are typically completed within a week and actions (flags and downranking) are applied once this is complete.

Access to the database will be shared soon, you can express interest here if you’d like to receive updates.

Kagi is an AI company that made a search engine. All you are doing here is creating a dataset that will be used to make AI slop harder to identify. Take a look at Kagi News it provides "Slop as a Service". You have to dig into the about section to learn that these news summaries are AI extruded.

Yeah my thought after reading the headline was "only good if they make that collected data public", because if its not then this is just like what google is doing with captchas.

That's a little disingenuous as they were founded in 2018. They're a search engine company which currently implements AI.

It isn't at all.

In the first couple of years (2018 - 2019) Kagi was focused on AI technology, driven by the notion that any future search engine will need to have a strong instant question-answering component.

Huh, interesting, I was wrong then.

Yes, I'd also prefer it if news were summarized by humans, but Kagi probably just doesn't have the capacity for that. Nevertheless, for topics that interest you, you can always access the direct sources to get information firsthand. To get a quick overview it's good enough.
